Annie Friday talks this week with Sequoia a young person who is nearing the end of her homeschooling and unschooling journey and transitioning into “adult” life. Annie first met Sequoia as a young person in a forest school program then later in the Flying Squad program designed to get young people out and about in their community. Sequoia and the whole squad of flyers were integral in speeding up Annie’s own deschooling experience. Deschooling is the process of shedding the programming that comes through life in a schooled society. Sequoia shares her ups and downs and general reflections on her own journey through her school years of life. 

Thanks for listening!
